衛計委:全面放開計劃生育政策沒有時間表

China's family planning policy will not change in the foreseeable future, and there are no plans for a complete relaxation currently, a top health official said Tuesday.

週二，一名高層衛生官員表示，我國的計劃生育政策在可預見的未來不會改變，全面放開生育目前沒有時間表。

Li Bin, head of the National Health and Family Planning Commission, made the remarks at a press conference on the sidelines of the Fourth Session of the 12th National People's Congress.

國家衛生和計劃生育委員會主任李斌是在十二屆全國人大四次會議的記者會上發表的上述言論。

As of 2015, the Chinese population numbered 1.375 billion, compared to 320 million in the United States, the world's largest economy.

在2015年，中國的人口已經達到13億7500萬，而世界第一大經濟體美國這一數字僅僅是3.2億。

Li said China's per capita economic output was "considerably low" as was the average living standard. "Our resources pale in comparison with our vast population. Until this changes, we will continue with the current family planning policy," she said.

李斌表示，中國的人均經濟產出以及平均生活質量都是“相當低的。”她說：“我們的資源與我們的龐大人口相對來說，顯得比較緊張。除非這一情況有所改變，不然我們計劃生育的基本國策還要長期堅持。”

"There is no timetable for the full relaxation of the policy although it will continue to be improved and adjusted," she added.

她補充說道：“雖然計劃生育國策將繼續改進和調整，但是全面放開生育目前沒有時間表。”

China this year allowed all married couples to have two children. This follows an earlier easing of the policy in 2013 that allowed couples to have a second child if either parent was an only child.

中國今年允許所有已婚夫婦生育二胎。在此前的2013年，曾出現過更早的政策放鬆，如果夫妻雙方有一方是獨生子，那麼夫婦就允許要第二個孩子。

The latest change ended the "one child" policy since it was implemented in the late 1970s. The two-child policy will see 3 million more children born in China every year.

最新的這一政策調整結束了自1970年代後期開始推行的獨生子女政策。二孩政策預計將會使得中國每年多出現300萬的新生兒。
